The accident occurred at 2:44 p.m., when a car driven by Desiree Dinis, 18, of Manhawkin struck the pedestrian, Eileen Keerdoja, 67 of Cortlandt Manor NY at the intersection of North 1st Street and Long Beach Boulevard, said Police Chief William Collins.

The accident happened as Keerdoja was in the cross walk starting to cross the boulevard and Dinis was making a right turn from North 1st Avenue, Collins said.

Keerdoja suffered head and other injuries, but was alert and conscious and was airlifted by helicopter to an area hospital, he said. The location of the hospital she was taken to wasn't known.

Dinis received a summons for careless driving and is scheduled to be heard in municipal court next month, Collins said.
